Victor Wembanyama walked out of Madison Square Garden with a Game three victory and a villain label he wasn't quite ready to own. The Spurs were down two games to none and needed a statement — Wembanyama delivered one, dominating the Knicks and giving New York fans a new target for their frustration. The Garden has a long memory, and so does Wemby.
Speaking of frustration, Knicks head coach Mike Brown isn't hiding his. After Game three, Brown went public with his displeasure over what he called lopsided officiating, suggesting the referees had too much influence over the outcome. When a coach goes on record about the refs after a Finals loss, you know the tension inside that locker room is running hot.
Shifting to baseball, the Atlanta Braves are expected to move a player who's been carrying a twenty million dollar price tag without delivering the production to match it. With the trade deadline approaching and Atlanta playing some of their best ball of the season, the front office appears ready to cut ties and upgrade where it counts.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
